Short filmTranscript
00:03I spent 5 years as Noah's co-pilot, and 5 more as his secret lover that couldn't be acknowledged.
00:11On our anniversary, his ex sent me a text.
00:21Guess which position we just unlocked.
00:24The photo showed the exact move Noah had me try in bed last week.
00:30That moment, I understood every trick he knew, she'd taught him.
00:36I took a picture of the captain transfer papers I'd hidden for 3 months, and replied,
00:41Congrats!
00:43But while you are busy unlocking new positions, I am charting a flight path he'll never catch.
00:52Then I signed my name bound for Seattle, Captain of GFO 28.
00:57Five years of playing second fiddle ends here.
01:00From now on, I fly east.
01:03He flies west.
01:0430,000 feet up, our paths will never cross.
01:09I am my own captain now.
01:16Skylar.
01:21An elite pilot.
01:23Like you should have been leading your own crew 3 years ago.
01:28Think it over these next few days.
01:30Do you want to keep being Noah's supporting act?
01:34Or seize the chance to become our first female captain?
01:41I'll give it serious thought.
01:45Five years.
01:46A full five years.
01:51Everyone at the company thought Noah and I were just the golden duo in the cockpit.
01:56Little did they know, we were just as compatible in bed.
02:04After graduating from flight school and joining the company,
02:08meeting Noah,
02:09Noah,
02:10we'd set one partnership record after another.
02:13Back then,
02:15Noah pursued me relentlessly.
02:18For my birthday,
02:20he spent three months designing a flight route
02:23that traced my name on the GPS map.
02:29Under Noah's constant devotion,
02:32I fell.
02:36To protect his career,
02:39the company prohibited relationships between captains and co-pilots.
02:48I agreed to keep things secret.
02:53By day, we piloted 787s together.
02:59Flying from New York to LA,
03:01crossing the entire American continent.
03:04By night, we shared a bed.
03:07His kisses ranging from passionate to tender.
03:12Introducing me to 81 different positions.
03:17Two people so perfectly matched.
03:19Mentally and physically yet.
03:22Looking back now,
03:23all I taste is bitterness.
03:32Still up?
03:34Too many night flights.
03:38My sleep schedule's a mess.
03:41Got you a gift,
03:42on this last flight.
03:45Inside the box,
03:46a Cartier diamond bracelet lay on satin.
03:49It was mindingly bright.
03:50Three months ago,
03:52I'd mentioned it casually on a plane.
03:54He remembered.
03:58I should have been moved,
03:59if I hadn't seen the same bracelet on Bella's Instagram two days ago.
04:06Captain Hunt has excellent taste.
04:09This Cartier bracelet symbolizes eternity.
04:13Did you and Noah get back together?
04:15This bracelet is so perfect on you!
04:17Well,
04:18don't read too much into it.
04:22Five years together,
04:23and only then did I learn that Bella was Noah's ex-girlfriend.
04:37No wonder at every team gathering,
04:39he always drove Bella home.
04:42While I,
04:43to hide our relationship,
04:45had to take cabs alone.
04:49What is wrong?
04:51What is wrong?
04:52Don't like it.
04:53I waited in line six hours to get it.
04:56Didn't you say you really wanted it on the plane?
05:00Don't really want it anymore.
05:06Just like,
05:06I don't really want this man I've loved for five years anymore.
05:10If it doesn't suit you,
05:12I'll get you something else next time.
05:15Next time,
05:16he'll buy me something else.
05:17Will Bella also get one first?
05:20Or will he buy two identical items?
05:25Pulling myself back to the present.
05:27My gaze fell in the application form the jewelry box was crushing.
05:31And I smiled bitterly.
05:34I deliberately placed this document in the most visible spot.
05:38Yet Noah had completely ignored it.
05:41This unequal relationship,
05:43maybe it had been my one woman show from the start.
05:50Robert,
05:52I accept the transfer.
05:54I am applying for the GF 028 route.
05:58GF 028 and Noah's 787
06:01go completely opposite directions.
06:03One east,
06:04one west.
06:08Choose this route,
06:09and your flight paths will never intersect.
06:13You sure?
06:16I am sure.
06:28Writing something?
06:32Flight dispatch for next time.
06:39If you are too tired,
06:41consider stopping flights.
06:42My salary is enough for us to live well anyway.
06:45Five years,
06:46and this man had never truly understood me.
06:49He knew I'd given up three promotion opportunities for him.
06:53He knew flying was my everything.
06:55Yet, he still said things like that.
06:59We'll see.
07:01It is fine.
07:03It is fine.
07:03Just 14 more days,
07:04and I can leave Global United Airlines.
07:07Leave this man,
07:08who has never taken my dreams seriously.
07:12Back in the bedroom,
07:14I'd barely laid down when Noah's arm wrapped around me from behind.
07:18His palms sliding knowingly into my silk nightgown.
07:21My images flashed through my mind.
07:24Bella's Instagram photo showing her red painted nails,
07:28resting on Noah's wrist.
07:31Don't touch me!
07:35What is wrong?
07:38Not feeling well!
07:46Does this help?
07:48In the darkness,
07:49his tenderness felt so real,
07:51but so did the betrayal.
07:53If he really cared about me,
07:55why would he still be entangled with his ex-girlfriend?
07:58In the early morning,
08:00his phone on the nightstand lit up.
08:03I instinctively glanced over.
08:05It was a message from Bella.
08:07Remember number three on your 18-year-old wish list?
08:10Rowboat in Central Park.
08:12I am waiting for you at the dock.
08:14My heart sank to the bottom.
08:16Last Saturday,
08:18Noah had just promised to take me to Central Park.
08:20I'd even booked a double rowboat.
08:22Turns out, not only did the ex get priority on gifts,
08:26even our date plans were hers to experience first.
08:31Something urgent with the crew?
08:32I need to go.
08:34I want to go to Central Park.
08:36Now.
08:38Next week.
08:39I am too busy this week.
08:41Next week, I'll take you.
08:45So I am just supposed to keep waiting!
08:47One text from his ex,
08:49and she is more important than all our plans.
08:52I turned back to the living room,
08:54looking at the entire wall of photos,
08:56feeling that familiar tightness in my chest again.
09:01A hundred photos,
09:03symbolizing our love lasting a hundred years!
09:08Hundred years.
09:10The promise had a much shorter shelf life than I'd imagined.
09:17Some people never forget your eighteen-year-old dreams.
09:20Number Central Park.
09:21Number Sunrise.
09:23Promise it kept.
09:25Noah!
09:26Slower!
09:27It hurts!
09:29So after the rowboat, there was an after party.
09:33Skylar!
09:35Where are all the photos?
09:37Fell down.
09:39Put them away.
09:40When I have time,
09:41we'll hang them together.
09:44Sadly.
09:46Photos can be rehung.
09:48But feelings can't.
09:59The next morning,
10:00I placed the signed promotion form on Robert's assistant's desk.
10:05Just as I was about to leave,
10:07the hallway intercom crackled.
10:09All crew members, please report immediately to conference halls.
10:13One.
10:13The new person arrives today.
10:16The Boeing 787 was getting a new purser.
10:21So sudden.
10:26We're pleased to introduce
10:29our Boeing 787's new purser.
10:32Bella Jones.
10:35Fate works in mysterious ways.
10:38Five years ago, when Noah first became captain,
10:41I was his purser.
10:44After all this time,
10:46we get to fly together again.
10:48It must be destiny.
10:51Wow! They're totally meant for each other!
10:54Five years ago, they were just like this.
10:56Their chemistry stung my eyes.
10:59I quietly turned,
11:00and pushed through the heavy conference hall doors.
11:05That evening's welcome dinner
11:07was at an upscale restaurant in midtown Manhattan.
11:11I hadn't wanted to go.
11:13But several crew members dragged me along.
11:17Come on, Skylar!
11:19Everyone knows you've always liked Noah.
11:21But for the company's sake,
11:23at least make an appearance!
11:28I sat in a corner, watching Bella circulate like a hostess.
11:32She'd lean in to whisper to Noah,
11:34fingers lightly touching his shoulder.
11:37The scene was especially painful to watch.
11:40In public before,
11:42Noah never let me get that close.
11:44Now I understood those rules only applied to people he didn't love.
11:49I heard they were madly in love back then.
11:52When Bella was going to work in Dubai,
11:54Noah even wrote a resignation letter,
11:56if the flight director hadn't stopped him.
11:59And, you know, the most romantic part.
12:03When Noah wanted to propose,
12:06he specially requested a new route,
12:08and confessed over the radio while crossing the Arctic Circle.
12:14Those flying memories I thought were uniquely ours.
12:17Turns out they were all reruns of someone else's story.
12:20The whole company knew about their romance.
12:24But no one knew about Noah and me these past five years.
12:28You must be Skylar.
12:30I am Bella.
12:32Consider me your senior.
12:35This double-edged comment was laughable.
12:38This woman who'd been provoking me with messages
12:41was now playing the first meeting card.
12:53Pleasure.
12:54Bella's smile froze for a moment,
12:56quickly recovering as she turned toward Noah.
12:59He was listening to her.
13:01His lips curved in that gentle arc I hadn't seen in weeks.
13:05Not once did he look in my direction.
13:08I couldn't take anymore and found an excuse to leave.
13:13Noah, your co-pilot doesn't seem to like me much.
13:17She left without even eating.
13:19Don't mind her.
13:20She's been pining after Noah for five years,
13:23playing second fiddle the whole time.
13:26Now that you are back, naturally she is uncomfortable.
13:29Don't say things like that.
13:32We'll all be colleagues going forward.
13:35So in everyone's eyes I was just a pathetic woman,
13:38who couldn't get what she wanted.
13:41Fine.
13:42In eleven more days,
13:43this pathetic woman would vanish from their sight forever.
13:47After all,
13:48no one ever knew I was Noah's actual girlfriend.
13:54Skylar, you shouldn't have left like that.
13:57Bella is a new colleague after all.
14:00You made things very awkward for her.
14:03You care so much about her embarrassment.
14:06Is it because she is a new colleague?
14:09Or because she is your ex-girlfriend?
14:21Skylar, you have to trust me.
14:23That is all ancient history.
14:27These five years, you've been the only one by my side.
14:31His eyes held a panic I'd never seen before,
14:34making me momentarily dazed.
14:37Maybe he does care about me.
14:39But just then,
14:41Bella's voice came from behind.
14:44Noah!
14:46The arm around me suddenly released,
14:48and he jerked back like he'd been shocked.
14:51That movement was so fast like pure instinct,
14:53drawing an invisible boundary between us.
14:56In that moment,
14:58I finally understood the current girlfriend of five years
15:00couldn't compete with a returning ex.
15:03Go on, don't keep her waiting.
15:05I thought I'd been mentally prepared.
15:08But when betrayal was laid out so nakedly,
15:11the heart still hurts.
15:15I curled up on the living room sofa,
15:18phone screen glowing on my face.
15:20My finger unconsciously clicked on Bella's Instagram.
15:23Her latest post was from 10 minutes ago.
15:26Caption, maximum boyfriend power,
15:28who says captains only fly planes.
15:30Number best support.
15:31Look that photo.
15:33I suddenly remembered last summer
15:35at the noisy Coney Island amusement park.
15:40Noah! I want to try it too!
15:46Don't do that, Skylar.
15:48It is not appropriate.
15:50Turns out it wasn't inappropriate.
15:53Just the wrong person.
15:55Don't cry, Skylar.
15:59Crying over unworthy people.
16:01Was letting myself down.
16:06Packing this late?
16:07Long flight next week.
16:11Getting things organized in advance.
16:14He's showing no suspicion.
16:17He even came over,
16:19bent down to check my suitcase lock,
16:21then Click personally locked it for me.
16:28All right, get some sleep.
16:30I looked at that suitcase he'd personally locked.
16:33My throat, suddenly tight.
16:36He'd never know this case didn't hold flight equipment.
16:39But my determination to leave.
16:49I looked at that suitcase he'd personally locked.
16:52He'd never know this case didn't hold flight equipment.
16:52But my determination to leave.
16:53Today was my last flight as Noah's co-pilot.
16:55And Bella's maiden voyage is the 787's purser.
17:02How pathetic together with Noah five years.
17:07And he can't even publicly acknowledge you.
17:11Seems in his heart,
17:12you'll always be someone who can't see daylight.
17:17And know what?
17:19Noah told me that morning in Central Park.
17:24He said he missed our flying days together most.
17:30Thanks for your hard work these five years.
17:34Playing his assistant by day,
17:36his bed partner by night.
17:38But you must have noticed.
17:41His favorite positions were all ones I taught him.
17:46If you want to say these things,
17:48you should tell Noah.
17:53Or can you only show off in front of me?
17:58Skylar,
17:59clinging to a man who doesn't love you.
18:02Don't you find it humiliating?
18:06Noah only has me in his heart.
18:09He is just killing time with you.
18:12The gifts he gave you were just styles I didn't want.
18:16Even the man himself,
18:18I used him first.
18:21You know what?
18:23Only he and I are the most compatible,
18:26body and soul.
18:30Look at Bella,
18:31I suddenly finding this scene ridiculous.
18:35She expected to see me break down.
18:38But ever since I discovered those flirty texts on Noah's phone,
18:42my heart had withered like a dying flower.
18:45No amount of provocation could make it bloom again.
18:49Since you are so perfect together,
18:53I wish you both a happy reunion.
19:02From today on,
19:04my life would be like the sunshine,
19:06bright and warm.
19:12Flaps, five degrees.
19:18Flaps five check.
19:21Take off thrust, set.
19:23Thrust set check.
19:25We coordinated as seamlessly as the past five years.
19:29But every command today carried farewell.
19:33This was the last time I'd sit on his right.
19:37From now on,
19:38I'd be the one holding the control column.
19:41Bringing every aircraft safely through take off and landing.
19:54At 35,000 feet,
19:56Noah engaged autopilot.
19:59We walked out of the cockpit one after another to patrol the cabin.
20:03Noah!
20:05Just then,
20:06the plane suddenly hit severe turbulence.
20:09An overhead bin door popped open,
20:11and a heavy suitcase fell straight down.
20:15Time stretched infinitely in that moment.
20:18I saw Noah instinctively pull Bella into his arms,
20:21while that case struck solidly on my right shoulder.
20:25Captain Skyler!
20:28Captain Skyler!
20:30First go calm the passengers.
20:35Tell them this is just normal turbulence.
20:39Okay!
20:43Whose responsibility was this?
20:51Sorry.
20:52I just took something out and might not have closed it properly.
20:56Can't handle even this basic operation!
20:59What if it had hit a passenger?
21:02Skyler,
21:04it was an accident.
21:06Don't be so harsh.
21:09At 35,000 feet,
21:12there is no such thing as accident.
21:15At 35,000 feet,
21:15that what you said.
21:17I am disappointed, Relly!
21:25I am sorry!
21:25About what just happened.
21:28I am very sorry.
21:31But Bella was closer to me.
21:33I instinctively...
21:35It is fine.
21:36This is my last time flying the 787 with you anyway.
21:40You are angry about what just happened?
21:45No.
21:47Bella's been away from this position five years.
21:50She needs time to readjust.
21:53You shouldn't be too hard on her.
21:55Those words were like the final boulder crushing the last hope in my heart.
22:00The one who made the mistake got tender protection,
22:03while the injured one was accused of being too harsh.
22:07The aching right shoulder felt like a prominent period,
22:11marking the end point of these five years.
22:14Sure enough,
22:16some routes...
22:17are destined to be flown alone.
22:29After seven hours of flight,
22:32the plane landed smoothly at Anchorage Airport.
22:36After resting overnight at the airport hotel,
22:39Noah took me to see the Northern Lights as promised.
22:43Except seeing the ever-present Bella,
22:46plus other crew members,
22:49extinguished any anticipation in my heart.
22:53After Noah's relentless pestering,
22:56I finally agreed.
22:58When we reached the observation cabin,
23:01the aurora happened to unfold its magnificent display across the night sky.
23:07Noah, remember?
23:11The first time we saw the aurora,
23:13we had that big fight.
23:15You swore you'd bring me back.
23:21Thank you for always remembering that promise.
23:26I never forget promises I make to you.
23:31In that moment,
23:32it felt like an icy blade pierced my heart.
23:37So the person Noah always wanted,
23:40to share the aurora with Wes Bella all along.
23:43And I was just a bystander he'd brought along.
23:49The final flights are complete.
23:52Awaiting instructions, sir.
23:54From today,
23:56you are no longer the 787's co-pilot,
23:59but captain of the GFO 28 route.
24:03Congratulations, Skyler.
24:06You're not only Aurora Airlines' youngest female captain,
24:10but also the pioneer of this new route.
24:18Skyler,
24:19why isn't your name on tomorrow's flight schedule?
24:25I've been too tired lately.
24:28Requested a few days off.
24:30That is good.
24:32We promise to fly together until retirement.
24:36Skyler,
24:37don't lie to me.
24:44When I return,
24:46it'll be New Year's.
24:48Let's go to Tokyo,
24:49for the countdown.
24:53Don't want to.
24:55Then Reykjavik.
24:57Just the two of us.
24:59No.
25:01These five years,
25:03to hide our relationship.
25:06He always took me to distant cities,
25:10to celebrate.
25:12But this time,
25:13I only wanted to quietly wait for the day I'd leave for Seattle.
25:18Come on.
25:18Spill it.
25:20Any hidden dream destination?
25:21New Year's Eve.
25:23Come with me to Rockefeller Center.
25:26Why New York?
25:28We could go somewhere more special.
25:30Just some photos.
25:32You just play photographer.
25:35As you wish.
25:37After the company party,
25:39I'll definitely announce our relationship to everyone.
25:43Just give me a little more time.
25:46Go shower.
25:47It is late.
25:52Okay.
25:54Five years,
25:55he always made me wait.
25:58But this time,
25:59I wouldn't wait anymore.
26:08Five years,
26:11But this time,
26:13I wouldn't wait anymore.
26:17I stood under the appointed starlights.
26:22Waiting from afternoon until dusk,
26:25from twilight deepening into night.
26:27But Noah never appeared.
26:32You!
26:34Skylar!
26:35Bella's having acute gastroenteritis!
26:38I am at the hospital with her!
26:45I'll come find you later!
26:48I'll come find you later!
26:58Welcoming the new year in my rightful place number,
27:01Captain's exclusive number position, 82.
27:06Noah!
27:06They say liars must swallow a thousand needles!
27:10How many times have you lied to me?
27:15So what if Noah wasn't here to take my picture?
27:18From now on,
27:20I'd be my own photographer.
27:23At 10pm,
27:25Noah finally called.
27:27Skylar,
27:28I'll be later.
27:30Find a cafe to sit and wait for me.
27:33Don't get cold.
27:36How much longer must I wait?
27:41I'll try to make it before midnight.
27:43Definitely spend New Years with you.
27:46Take your photos.
27:47I'll wait until midnight.
27:54I plan to say goodbye to him at midnight.
27:58Our last meeting.
28:00Hope he won't stand me up.
28:0311 o'clock.
28:0511 o'clock.
28:0711.59.
28:10Five, four, three, two!
28:14Happy New Year!
28:19Noah never appeared.
28:21Welcoming New Years with position 83.
28:24Times Square sky full of neon lighting up our 20s and 30s.
28:33Noah, I am leaving.
28:35Wishing you and Bella continued success, unlocking all 108 positions.
28:55Welcome, Captain Skylar!
28:57Happy New Year!
29:00Happy New Year!
29:02Happy New Year!
29:02Looking forward to flying with you all!
29:05From now on, I was this plane's captain.
29:10Kennedy Tower, Aurora Airlines, GFO 28 ready.
29:14Requesting maiden flight clearance.
29:16Tower copy.
29:18GF 28 cleared for takeoff.
29:20Safe skies, Captain Evans.
29:22Goodbye, Kennedy Tower!
29:29From now on, my life would follow GFO 28's route, never intersecting with Noah's.
29:48Damn it!
29:50I'd promised to meet Skylar, before midnight, for New Years.
29:53But I'd ultimately...
29:55Broken my word.
29:58Is this...
29:59Bella's Instagram?
30:01What shocked him even more...
30:03Was that every post Bella had been sharing was set to...
30:06Hide from...
30:07Noah Hunter.
30:09Only now did he know...
30:11Bella had been harassing me behind his back all along.
30:18What are these?
30:21What is it?
30:23Noah, I've regretted these five years apart.
30:25I posted these only because...
30:28I didn't want anyone between us.
30:31Let's get back together.
30:33We ended...
30:35Long ago.
30:36From the day you left for that Dubai promotion...
30:39Without looking back.
30:41Now...
30:41I love Skylar!
30:44You are lying!
30:46If you don't love me, why do you come every time I call?
30:51Why would you rather stay with me than keep your New Years date?
30:55I care for you.
30:57Out of collegiality.
30:59More...
31:00As Captain's responsibility.
31:02I don't believe it!
31:05Enough!
31:06Five years have passed.
31:08Everything's turned the page.
31:13I have a girlfriend...
31:15Now.
31:15For you.
31:17Only professional courtesy remains.
31:19No!
31:20It is not like that!
31:22Noah!
31:23Don't go!
31:24No!
31:25No, no, no!
31:26No!
31:27No!
31:30Skylar!
31:31I bought you cherries.
31:34Skylar?
31:40Noah!
31:41I am leaving.
31:42Wishing you and Bella continued success unlocking all 108 positions.
31:53The number you have dialed is out of service.
31:57Answer!
31:58Skylar!
31:59Please answer!
32:02The number you have dialed is...
32:15Skylar!
32:17Where did you even go?
32:36Skylar!
32:37Where exactly did Skylar go?
32:39She got promoted to Captain and transferred to Aurora Airlines.
32:44Why are you looking for her?
32:47Transfer!
32:49When?
32:50Why didn't she tell me?
32:53Before, even minor things like flight delays...
32:57Skylar would share with me first.
32:59Now such a major transfer...
33:01And I knew nothing.
33:04This...
33:04Is Skylar's career choice.
33:07Why should she tell you?
33:09Skylar was your co-pilot for five years.
33:13Otherwise, with her abilities...
33:15She could have been Captain three years ago.
33:19Skylar could have been promoted to Captain three years ago.
33:24She'd stayed in the co-pilot position to fly with me?
33:27Can I help you?
33:32Please tell me where she is.
33:34I need to find her.
33:38What will you do finding her?
33:40She has her new route.
33:42You have your flights to handle.
33:49She is my girlfriend.
33:51I need to bring her back.
33:54You've been together all along?
33:57Never went public?
33:59Yes.
34:00Five years.
34:04Five years.
34:06You both hit it quite well.
34:09Look this.
34:13Seattle?
34:17I need a few days leave.
34:19I'm going to find her immediately.
34:32Skylar, having lived with you for five years...
34:36Only now did I discover...
34:38You had long since taken root in my heart.
34:41If I had gone public earlier...
34:44You might never have left me.
34:49Five years.
34:53Skylar Evans, my love.
34:55Five years.
34:56Skylar and Noah have been together five years.
35:00Didn't Noah always like Bella?
35:01Why the sudden announcement?
35:03Quick, them and ask!
35:05What is going on?
35:07When did Skylar leave the group?
35:09Who wouldn't leave?
35:11Skylar was the underground girlfriend for five years.
35:14The moment Bella came back, Noah changed his attitude.
35:17Drawing clear lines in front of everyone.
35:20I'd leave too.
35:21Who could take that?
35:22What?
35:24I never meant to distance myself.
35:28Just wanted to wait a bit longer.
35:30I was wrong!
35:32Terribly, terribly wrong, Skylar!
35:45While Noah handled Handover Matters in New York, I'd already piloted GFO 28, smoothly landing on Seattle-Tacoma Airport's runway.
35:59Aurora Airlines, GFO 28, calling Seattle Tower.
36:04Go ahead.
36:09GFO 28, requesting taxi instructions.
36:12Surface wind, 230 degrees at 5 knots.
36:17Use taxiway, 01 left to gate 3.
36:19H, GFO 28.
36:21Welcome to Seattle.
36:24Thank you, Seattle Tower.
36:28Welcome to Seattle Tower's greeting was quite enthusiastic today.
36:32Captain Evans.
36:36Crew members prepare to welcome banquet at Pilot's Home.
36:39Hoping you'll lead us in opening this new route.
36:42Okay.
36:48Liam.
36:49Let me reintroduce myself.
36:52Liam Carter, your Seattle air traffic controller.
36:56No wonder on the plane, I'd found the tower voice both pleasant and familiar.
37:03So it really was Liam.
37:05He'd been my senior at flight school two years ahead.
37:08A campus celebrity even then.
37:12I'd always thought he'd become an outstanding captain.
37:15Never imagined he'd chosen air traffic control.
37:21Liam, hello.
37:26Sorry, I just didn't expect to run into you here.
37:33We few are really fated.
37:35Same flight school graduates, now in the same crew.
37:38Back then, I secretly shipped you two as a couple.
37:41Shame, it ended badly.
37:45What do you mean, ended badly?
37:48Our captain Skyler later fell for her instructor.
37:51Too bad.
37:52That guy wasn't very reliable.
37:54Those words were like a fine needle.
37:57Piercing my heart.
37:59Those memories of Noah rushed in the initial flutter.
38:02Five years of devotion.
38:05Final betrayal.
38:07Enough.
38:08This was enough.
38:11Back then, Liam always.
38:15Ryan, try this.
38:21Seven years ago, we'd made a bet the loser had to grant the winner a request.
38:27Confident I'd win.
38:28I'd agreed to his condition of knitting a scarf.
38:32Result, I lost completely, forced to grit my teeth and knit this scarf with crooked stitches.
38:37I'd never imagined that years later, he'd still kept it.
38:43This scarf.
38:46Yeah, it is the one you gave me.
38:51That was so long ago.
38:54Not long for me.
38:56Especially since it was something you gave me.
38:59His tone was calm yet, like a pebble dropped into my heart's lake.
39:14Just as I stepped off the plane, I heard that familiar voice behind me.
39:21Skylar!
39:30What are you doing here?
39:33I came to bring you home.
39:35Home?
39:37In what capacity?
39:39Your secret lover you hid for five years?
39:41Or the third wheel between you and Bella?
39:46I'd already seen his social media posts, but only found them laughable.
39:51He'd demanded the underground relationship.
39:56Now he was performing deep affection.
40:00Look.
40:01Every day, I am posting to tell everyone you are my girlfriend.
40:06Enough!
40:07What is the point now?
40:09We ended long ago.
40:13No, we can't end.
40:14Bella and I really have nothing.
40:16Those were all misunderstandings.
40:20None of that matters anymore.
40:25We're not compatible.
40:26I don't want to see snow and remember standing alone in Times Square.
40:31Until dawn on New Year's Eve.
40:34Noah, go back.
40:38That night, I was because...
40:43Because you left her alone in Sub-Zero streets to spend New Year's Eve with another woman, right?
40:50Liam?
40:52What are you doing here?
40:55Coming to back her up.
40:58This isn't your business!
41:00Let her go!
41:02I warned you back at flight school.
41:05If you truly cared for her, cherish her properly.
41:08What did you do?
41:10This is between Skylar and me!
41:15Now it is my business.
41:21Skylar, give me a chance to pursue you, okay?
41:38Don't joke around.
41:40Do you want to keep being harassed by him?
41:43He was doing this to help me completely break free from Noah.
41:46Samona as outstanding as him.
41:49How could he possibly actually be interested in me?
41:54Go back.
41:56I am with Liam now.
41:57We ended long ago.
42:00We never officially broke up!
42:03How could-
42:03Didn't you also immediately go find Bella?
42:06After she came back?
42:11I...
42:13Let's go.
42:22Is this...
42:24Bella's USB drive?
42:28Oh my god!
42:30Bella had been leaking the company's trade secrets...
42:34to competitors!
42:35Even more shocking,
42:36a folder named Plan contained detailed records
42:39of how she'd meticulously orchestrated every chance encounter.
42:43And those seemingly intimate photos
42:45were actually staged while he was drunk,
42:47under her manipulation.
42:49Those ambiguous private messages were all her carefully scripted lines.
42:53What angered him most,
42:54she'd even contacted several tabloid media outlets,
42:58preparing to expose Global Airlines Captain Two-Timing News,
43:01attempting to completely destroy his career and love life.
43:09BELLA!
43:11BELLA!
43:11How string?
43:22BELLA!
43:23What is the point forging these?
43:31Need me to hand these to the company's security department, for authenticity verification.
43:40Or directly to the police.
43:50Let me explain!
43:53Explain what?
43:55Explain how you calculatedly destroyed my relationship with Skylar.
44:00Explain how you used my trust to steal company secrets.
44:05It is all because of her!
44:07I loved you so much!
44:09Came back from Dubai for you!
44:12But you only had eyes for her!
44:15So, you retaliated this way!
44:19Do you know this could ruin so many people's careers?
44:23I don't care!
44:24What I can't have, no one else should!
44:28We're finished! You'll pay for your actions!
44:35The next day, Noah brought all evidence to the company's security department.
44:41Simultaneously, the company's lawyer sent termination letters to Bella's residence.
44:46A week later, police officially arrested Bella on charges of commercial fraud and defamation.
44:52The news quickly spread through aviation circles.
44:57Noah cooperated with police as key witness to complete the investigation.
45:01Walking from the station, he happened to see an Aurora Airlines aircraft streak across the blue sky.
45:08GFO 28, Skylar must be in the cockpit right now.
45:14Confidently, gripping the controls.
45:17In that moment, his heart felt both stabbing pain and strange relief.
45:21That girl who once stood behind him, had now flown toward broader skies.
45:27Noah didn't go to Seattle again.
45:29He spent an entire week handwriting, a long letter.
45:36Dear Skylar,
45:37You taught me what love is.
45:39What responsibility means.
45:41You gave up three promotion opportunities for me.
45:44Yet I was blind.
45:48You endured five years as my secret girlfriend.
45:51Yet, I took it for granted.
45:54Now you are flying freely while I've finally learned to let go.
45:59May you forever soar in your own blue skies.
46:27Oh my god! The right engine's out!
46:31Shut down right engine. Follow emergency procedures.
46:35Engine shut down! Skylar, we only have one engine now!
46:40Don't panic. I'll handle it.
46:44Passengers, this is Captain Skylar.
46:47The aircraft has encountered some technical issues we're addressing.
46:50Please remain calm and keep seat belts fastened.
46:55My god! Single engine! Not enough fuel to reach Tokyo!
47:00Then we won't go to Tokyo.
47:02How far to Anchorage?
47:05400 plus nautical miles.
47:07Just barely enough fuel if everything goes smoothly.
47:12Anchorage airport. This is GFO 28.
47:16We need emergency landing.
47:19GFO 28. Stage your situation.
47:22Right engine failure.
47:24182 souls on board.
47:26Requesting immediate landing.
47:28Estimated arrival in 35 minutes.
47:32Copy.
47:33Runway cleared for you.
47:34Emergency crew standing by.
47:36The plane began descending.
47:38Missing one engine, the entire aircraft tilted right.
47:42I had to constantly adjust to maintain balance.
47:49Fuel warning.
47:50Don't panic. Don't panic, Ryan.
47:53Follow my lead.
47:54Take deep breaths.
47:55We can do this.
47:57I said for Ryan, and myself.
48:01Land finally appeared outside the window.
48:04Anchorage.
48:05I'd never found this name so beautiful.
48:08GFO 28. Turn left.
48:11Descend to 3000 feet.
48:13Copy.
48:15This was the most dangerous moment single engine landing.
48:19No second chances.
48:22200 feet.
48:23100 feet.
48:24100 feet.
48:2510 feet.
48:27Finally, the plane stopped.
48:51GFO 28.
48:53Welcome to Anchorage.
48:54Well done, Captain.
48:58GFO 28.
48:59Welcome to Anchorage.
49:00You just saved everyone.
49:02Those 35 minutes felt like a century.
49:06I truly felt death's proximity for the first time.
49:11And for the first time, I felt I could hold up the sky on my own.
49:17All those voices saying I wasn't calm enough, didn't deserve to be captain.
49:23Now they could all shut up.
49:25Three days after the engine failure incident, Aurora Airlines held a celebration banquet for me.
49:32Liam stayed by my side all evening, deflecting drinks, serving food, attentive beyond ignoring.
49:52Skylar.
49:55There is something I must to tell you.
49:59I like you. I've liked you since the day I first saw you.
50:02For a full seven years.
50:05Seven years?
50:07Watching you with Noah every day was torture.
50:12But I thought as long as you were happy, now you are finally free.
50:17I don't want to miss this chance.
50:23Liam.
50:25I know you might not be ready, but Skylar, give me a chance to prove love doesn't have to be
50:31a burden.
50:32I'm eating his determined gaze.
50:35I think about Liam's seven-year vigil.
50:38Noah's five-year dismissiveness.
50:41What I truly wanted.
50:44What if I am not sure I can love you?
50:47Then I'll work to make you love me.
50:50Let's try.
51:06The next day at work, my inbox held two emails.
51:11One was from the company's HR department, promoted to director of flight standards in recognition of outstanding performance.
51:19The other email was from Noah.
51:22In his letter, he congratulated me on my promotion and thanked me for helping him become a better person.
51:29Additionally, he has accepted a transfer to the Africa route and will depart next week.
51:33I stared at the screen for a long time.
51:36Finally replying four words, take care.
51:43Three years later.
51:53Long time no see.
52:01Long time.
52:08Heard you are getting married?
52:13Next month.
52:20Liam is a good man.
52:22Much better than me.
52:28The past is past.
52:30Yes, past.
52:37My flight's boarding.
52:38Wishing you happiness.
52:40Sincerely.
52:41You too.
52:58Why'd you come?
52:59Ryan said you ran into Noah in Paris.
53:08Worried you'd be upset.
53:09Worried you'd be upset.
53:11You are not bothered?
53:14Why would I be?
53:17He is the past.
53:18I am the present and future.
53:26Liam, I love you.
53:31I love you too.
53:53I love you too.
53:57Cleared for takeoff.
53:59Cleared for takeoff.
53:59GFO 28.
54:00Your tower will be waiting for your return.
54:03A few minutes around.
54:04I love you.
54:12I love you.
54:15I love you.
54:18I love you too.
